MEANS FOR OPERATING EGG-BEATERS.

SI-ECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent Lia-384,674, dated June19, 1888.

Application filed February 21, 1858. Serial No. 264,726. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, MARY F. BISHOP, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of 5Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Meansfor Operating Egg-Beaters; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

My invention has reference to certain new and useful improvements inmeans for operating egg-beaters, and has for its object to provide adevice of this description whereby a great number of eggs may be beatensimultaneously, while at the same time the operation of beating isaccomplished automatically and in a very short space of time.

With these ends in view my invention consists in certain details ofconstruction and combination of parts, such as will be hereinafter fullyset forth, and then specifically designated by the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of myimprovement; Fig. 2, a similar view with the neck and easing sectionedand partly broken away, the heaters being removed; and Fig. 3, a detailsectional view of the head, showing a modified construction, whereby thenormal horizontal plane of the beaters may be varied.

Similar letters denote like parts in the several figures of thedrawings.

A is a casing, within which is journaled a shaft, B. On this shaft aresecured a mainspring, G, and primary cog-wheel D, in pre cisely the samemanner as in the ordinary clock-work. Immediately above-this cog and .rspring is journaled a short shaft, E. and rigidly secured on this shaftare gears F, G, and H. The wheel F meshes with the cog D, whereby motionis imparted to the shaft E.

I is a neck which is secured on top of the casing, and is arched, sothat its head J extends in practically a vertical plane.

Extending within the base and head, respectively, of said neck areshafts KL, which are connected by a coil-spring, M. On the 50 lowerextremityof the shaft K is a beveled gear, N, which meshes with the gearG. The

shaft L has a cog=wheel, O, on the lower end, which meshes with asimilar cog, P, secured on the end of a short shaft, Q, journaled in thehead J. To these cogs are secured the ordinary double heaters, R S.

T is a small cog-wheel meshingwith the wheel H and secured on the shortshaft U. This shaft projects without the casing, and has secured at theouter extremity thereof a gov: ernor, V, the function of which will bepresently explained.

The operation of my improvement is as follows: The spring is wound onthe shaft B by means'of any suitable key adapted to revolve* the latterin the manner common to all clocks. The resiliency of the spring willrapidly revolve this shaft B backward, and thereby com municate motionto the heaters through the medium of the shafts K L, spring M,and gearsD, F, G, and N. The governor V serves to steady the movement of thecogs, and may be utilized also as a check to stop the rotation of theheaters at any desired time. In order to regulate the horizontal planeof the heaters for the accommodation of vessels of different heights ordepths, I purpose to make the head J separate from the neck and connectthe two at various adjustments by means of a binding screw, \V, as shownat Fig. 3.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the shaft L, having rigidly mounted thereon the cogO, the cog P,

MARY F. BISHOP.
